Just curious on what everyone is using for their Modern rifle season?  I myself am shooting my Browning A bolt .300 WSM with leuopold mark 8 scope. No bipod and a little much in the thicker brush of Capital Forrest but She is my baby, and I love her!!!

What are you guys shooting!!!!

Tikka T3 Superlite in 30-06 with a 3-10x42 Swarovski Z3. Shooting 150g Barnes TTSX.

Here it is resting on a doe Antelope I just took in Montana at 375 yards. Love this gun to death.

Remington 7400 in .30/06 I bought from a member on here. Used in the last two seasons and it has 2 deer on it.

1903 Springfield .30-06 with 6-24x44 scope. Or my Remington 700 .30-06 with 4.5-14x40 scope. Trying to get it done with the good old Springfield this season.

Winchester push feed mod 70 Winlite (factory McMillan stock) in 300 Wby w/VX3i 3.5-10 CDS.  I like it real well.  Pretty much same trajectory as my 17 Rem, 22-250 & 243 varmint rifles out to their effective range.  I shoot them a lot and it a little and that makes it easier.

Custom 30-06 on a mauser action my uncle put together 50 years ago.  Double set triggers can clover leaf the 100 yard target all day long but he could hole punch with his handloads.  Nice and light.

Very nice arsenal so far. I have my first rifle ever still that I hunt with from time to time. It's a Remington 760 30-06 pump action. My grandfather gave me one and my uncle. He still shoots his to this day. It is very trustworthy and never misses a beat. I think it is just hard for me to shoot that one regularly due to my gramps getting old and I want it to be in tip top shape forever!!!

I shoot a couple but I keep going back to my TC Encore with a .300 win mag barrel on it. Fun gun to shoot and easy to carry around.

6.8 SPC in an AR15 platform and a Remington 700 in .308.  The 6.8 is perfect for stalking and jump shooting while the .308 is nice for sitting and waiting.

As far as glass goes, the 6.8 has a Nikon Prostaff 3-9X with BDC dialed in at 200 for zero and the .308 has a Primary Arms first focal plane ACSS 4-14X.

.270 win, on a mauser action with a leupold vx1 3-9x40, shoots ragged holes at 100 yards with 140 gn SST and 58.5 gn of H4831. And a Ted Williams model 100 (Sears and Roebuck) .30-30 for those foggy days.
